Supporting Graduate Entrepreneurship in the Creative Sector (SHADOWS)
The SHADOWS project has a number of key objectives but primarily the project is focused on increasing the labour market relevance of VET by providing bespoke pedagogic resources that will improve the attainment levels of high-level basic and transversal competences. The cultural and creative industry sector has been singled out

for its growth potential as Europe recovers from the depths of the recent economic crisis. Developing bespoke curriculum resources that specifically address potential for graduate entrepreneurs in this important sector and supporting new entrepreneurs in a robust mentoring framework represents a significant connection between VET provision and micro-enterprise owners and an increased responsiveness within VET provision to market demands. The cultural and creative industry sector is particularly relevant for today's emerging graduates who have grown up in a digital world with technology embedded in their consciousness. Digital literacy skills among young graduates are at a standard that should help them to engage in media-rich learning content on a variety of technology based learning environments. The cultural and creative sector spans a wide range of business areas from technology based products and services to fashion design; from music and video production to computer gaming. Providing a bespoke curriculum to support entrepreneurship in this sector makes perfect sense as the cost of establishing a cultural and creative sector business can be quite small and the requirement for minimal capital outlay makes it particularly appealing and relevant for today’s young graduates emerging from college. It is an accepted fact that the quality of teaching is the key deciding factor in the achievement of educational outputs and the SHADOWS project recognises the key role to be played by VET professionals and wants to ensure that they can benefit from the provision of essential in-service training.

'With a trio of influential bestsellers, Dan Pink has changed the way companies view the modern workplace. In the pivotal A Whole New Mind, Pink identifies a sea change in the global workforce -- the shift of an information-based corporate culture to a conceptual base, where creativity and big-picture design dominates the landscape.'

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

'People don’t buy what you do – they buy why you do it – and so we seek to extract those authentic, engaging stories from each brand we work with, to engage their audience.' in 2016 Grainne and Fiona established a creative production company with a focus on brand storytelling.

Stori Creative began in 2016, when Grainne Dwyer, former CEO of Skibbereen's ‘Ludgate Hub’, saw a niche in the market for creative brand storytelling.
